Just finished up this reread of Boyfriend Goals by Riley Hart. This is a syrupy sweet romance with lots of layers and amazing neurodivergent rep.
Gideon and Milo are ridiculously perfect for each other. They just GET one another. Milo and his blunt honesty and Gideon with his kindness and love of others.
Riley can write a damn good character, and Milo hooked me in immediately. I was instantly invested in his character and so excited to go on his journey with him.
Gideon was an absolute sweetheart. His character was a wonderful example of how we can get in our own heads and get lost instead of just talking out our issues.
Milo gets a phone call one morning at work. A grandmother he never knew he had died and left him a book store, the attached apartment, and a renter he has immediately nicknamed TATTOO GUY. Deciding it was time to be the captain of his own destiny, he travels across the country to the small town - and meets Gideon. Sparks immediately fly.
Gideon, a tattooer renting shop space from the kindly old woman that's recently died, and is worried that the new owner is going to give him the boot. He meets Milo and is instantly enamored.
These two dance around each other for a while. But Gideon and Milo are both wonderful examples of being who you are - just be who you are.
I love their romance.
I love their characters.
BOYFRIEND GOALS is the perfect small-town romance with finding yourself vibes, neurodivergent rep, anxiety rep & really - they're total boyfriend GOALS.
